SEATTLE (AP) -- For the next two months, Bob Hill figures every game will be a new experiment -- if not an experience.
Injuries and inconsistencies forced the SuperSonics coach to devise a revised lineup Saturday and it worked for a 110-97 victory over the Toronto Raptors. Ray Allen scored 28 points after missing nine games with a bone contusion in his right foot as Seattle snapped a season-high six-game losing streak.
Luke Ridnour added 18 points and was one of six Sonics in double figures.
"We had six guys in double figures so the ball moved," Hill said. "It was good to see Ray back out there. I thought overall he played very well."
It was the Sonics' first game without forward Rashard Lewis, who injured his tendon sheath in his right hand Wednesday. He had surgery Friday and could miss two months. Lewis was averaging 21.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists -- all career bests.
